Summary

Albuquerque beat cop Mike Ehrmantraut can't quite bring himself to arrest Jesse Pinkman for a failed attempt at solicitation. Instead, he takes him to Waffle House, lets him sleep on his couch, and helps him look for legitimate employment. Little does he know that the kid could turn out to be the key in the Heisenberg case, provided they can come to trust one another.

(A parallel universe exploring how some of the events of season 2 might have played out if a law-abiding adult had taken interest in Jesse's well-being.)
